Nestled within the Hiawatha area of Minneapolis is the distinctly modern Louella Anderson neighborhood, developed in the 1960s with curving streets named for University of Minnesota presidents. This airy split-level home was in need of a more functional kitchen. By opening up one wall and closing in another, the new kitchen has nearly double the counter and storage space for this busy young family. Modern slab cabinets are topped with white quartz countertops in a long, u-shaped configuration perfect for multiple cooks. Floating shelves sit against large subway tiles which frame the new windows. The kitchen is now a perfect marriage of form and function for this midcentury gem.
